Student Status

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS

ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS
As an associate degree student, your classification is determined by your progression through the program.

BACCALAUREATE DEGREE PROGRAMS
As a baccalaureate student, your classification is based on credits earned.
Sophomore: 24 credits
Junior: 60 credits
Senior: 92 credits

Classifications are updated at midterm and the end of the term, after grades have been submitted.

STUDENT ENROLLMENT STATUS
Your enrollment status is based on the number of credits for which you are registered. See the Admission and Financial Information section of this catalog for details.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COLLEGE
You may withdraw from the College at any time by contacting the appropriate office. Weekend College students must contact the Weekend College Office. Day students on the St. Paul campus must contact the Office of Academic Advising. Minneapolis campus students must contact the Registrar’s Office on the Minneapolis campus. In all cases, the effective date of withdrawal is the date on which you initially contact the appropriate office.

No refunds of tuition are given unless you have officially withdrawn. Such refunds are made on a prorated basis according to the schedules published in the Summary of Financial Procedures distributed by the Student Accounts Office and on the College’s Web site.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM
Students wishing to stop attending classes and return after one or two semesters (one to three terms for Weekend College students) may request a leave of absence. Students in the Day Program contact the Office of Academic Advising to request a leave. Weekend College students contact the Weekend College Office. You will receive registration information from either the Office of Academic Advising or Weekend College during your leave.

If you are away from the College for more than two semesters (more than three terms for Weekend College students) you must complete a re-enrollment form (available online) when you return from leave and prior to registering for courses.

READMISSION TO THE COLLEGE

HEALTHCARE CERTIFICATE AND ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS
If you discontinue course work for any reason, you must apply for re-enrollment through the Registrar’s Office. Program completion time limits apply to re-enrolled students; time away from the College is counted toward the seven year maximum (five year maximum for major course work).

Petitions for readmission after academic suspension will be reviewed by the associate academic dean. When you return to the College after an absence of one year or more you will be required to meet the same degree requirements as newly admitted students.

BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM
Students in good standing who have been away from the College more than one academic year may apply for readmittance by contacting the Office of Admission. An additional application fee is not charged.

Petitions for readmission after academic suspension must be addressed to the academic dean.

Typically, program requirements established at the time of admission do not change for students who leave the College and return within five years to complete their programs. If your absence from the College extends five or more years you will need to complete the program requirements under the catalog in effect at the time of your re-enrollment. Modifications to such requirements may be made at the discretion of the academic dean.
